We have examined individual case studies and entire seasons of tropical
cyclogenesis in the Atlantic, eastern Pacific, and, to a lesser extent, the
western Pacific. All make use of ECMWF gridded analyses and gridded OLR, which
are used to examine the structure of the large scale in the vicinity of forming
tropical depressions. I will discuss the possible influences of waves in the
easterlies, the MJO, and the ITCZ, using several examples. Also given will be
a general discussion of the cyclogenesis problem.
